Good afternoon, everyone! It is veto day in the Big Brother house, and it is a fairly large one. If you missed the update, or the header, Bridgette and Frank were nominated by James who won my favorite endurance competition (the wall). For the record, I am very upset that they didn’t show the competition on the live feeds. I look forward to endurance competitions every year, and the fact that this was a 5 1/2 hour long one makes it sting that much more. Thanks Big Brother.

Back to the veto competition. Frank is pretty much on an island right now because his only real ally is on the block with him. Despite Tiffany telling Victor that Da’Vonne can’t be trusted, it appears he quickly joined the group in the house that is looking to eliminate Frank – yet not tell him. Frank actually thinks there is a chance Paulie, maybe Victor, Corey or Paul may play for him and use it on him if they win. They won’t. Frank is alone, and it’s must win for him or he’ll be heading home this Thursday night. Meanwhile, James is a bit upset because he nominated the pair as a ‘house decision’ (James plays safe), yet was quickly thrown under the bus by people like Paulie who gave Frank sympathy after the noms. Quite a few people gave the impression that it was James’ decision alone, and that is because (and I quote Natalie) “they’re a bunch of bitches”.

This has James doing a bit of damage control as you can see from the image above. He sat Bridgette down and had a long talk with her about how he’s not after her, and how it was a mistake to nominate her. That’s what you get when you do the dirty work of snakes, I guess.

Updates:

11:50am – Natalie is up and getting ready for the day.

There likely will be nothing going on from now until the veto competition ends, so I am going to run out for the afternoon. I will update this thread when I return

Frank suggests she tell him to shave his mustache into a Hitler ‘stache

7:30pm – People just hanging around chatting and waiting for the veto comp. I am shocked it is this late. It can’t be a very long one, unless the plan on airing it on bbad

8:00pm – Frank asks if Nicole has been called into the DR about being pulled to play yet. She says no. This wait is driving people crazy

Talking to Bridgette, Frank said he’d rather go home this week than the next few weeks. He doesn’t want to hang around jury all summer. Especially when he was there a few years ago

Earlier in the day, he was telling a story about how Boogie gave him his phone number before he left. He said when he got to jury, sneak out and give him a call and he’ll leave Frank a bunch of stuff in the bushes. He’ll give him updates on the house, etc. Frank didn’t actually do that, but his handler was super paranoid he was going to. He even accused Frank of jumping on his laptop when he wasn’t looking. Frank denies doing anything with it. Said he didn’t care enough to know what was happening in the house. I’d probably be the same way. Once out, I’d be done.

He said if he does go to jury, he’s going to wake up early, go in the living room, turn on Netflix and have people force him to give away the remote.

The handler will say “Frank, you gotta share it, bro”. Frank will tell him “make me!”… he then says he’s kidding. He won’t act like that.

He called himself a ‘paper tiger’ earlier. Scary looking and acting, but really made a paper and passive.

8:20pm – Frank jokes that production is taking awhile because they have to put together a big package to introduce just who Michelle is. He said audience members are going to see Michelle playing in the veto and wonder who the hell she is

8:30pm – Natalie finally called to the DR. This means veto comp shortly

8:40pm – Feeds down for veto

10:00pm – Feeds are still down

10:40pm – Feeds back

It was some weird rave looking competition. The winner is….

Michelle! The girl Frank was making fun of that nobody knew. Poor Frank. Karma is coming around a lot for him this season

Meanwhile on the other side of the house…

The nice part about large groups of people all gelling together is that it eventually becomes a messy divorce

11:00pm – The HoH room is talking, and sounds like Frank is done. They’re going to get Bridgette out second, unless she wins HoH of course (she won’t)

Note – Paul celebrating is one of the most obnoxious things I’ve heard in Big Brother blogging. “pissed”…. “pissed”…. “pissed” Wow this cast is annoying

11:15pm – Frank is starting to get a bit annoyed at James.

He told James not to leave Bridgette out to dry next week. James says he won’t, but then Bridgette said James also said he wouldn’t put her up.

Frank tells him not to let her spend the week by herself while everyone picks on her like they’ve been all summer

“Everyone picks on the sweet kid all summer, and you’re like … ‘all right, I’ll put her up because that’s what all the mean girls want’, but… pretty shitty”

“You could have just put me and Victor up and let me go home”

11:40pm – Frank jokes about finding some special twist this week. Makes me wonder if production is going to drop hints about the twist Julie mentioned

Bridgette asks if his season was like this, with all the people being mean and rude. He said not even close basically

Bridgette said Day wants to talk to her later. Frank encourages working with her if she can and putting up boys if that’s what it takes

She said she heard Paulie talking about how people shouldn’t celebrate like that (like Michelle and the rest of the house), but then she noticed him going and joining them. This makes them realize they can’t trust Paulie, either. Not like it matters at this point as they’re both walking dead.

Frank knew James was a douchebag from the beginning, but thought he could work with him. He thinks Paulie is as well. Corey is alright. Victor is a douchebag… but one of the nicer ones. Natalie isn’t catty, but she’s stupid and weak. Ignorant and oblivious to this whole thing.

“Online is probably hating on me (Frank) for shitting on everyone, but it’s true”… (Frank is right from what I have witnessed so far. I wouldn’t call Natalie stupid, but everything else sounds spot on)

12:00am – Sounds like Frank is on the brink of blowing up. He could do it at some point this week, but he also may just accept his fate and it will be a boring week. With that, I’m off to bed

Ooops, just as I go to shut off feeds, Nicole walks in. Let’s see how this goes.

Frank asks her if they have a move. She doesn’t know.

Everyone was apparently cheering for Michelle, like hardcore. Nicole said she could never do that, it was heartbreaking

Frank wants to approach James with Nicole and try to throw Day under the bus. He said he doesn’t want her to do it if she doesn’t feel comfortable

Frank is comparing Day to Janelle and how Mike was able to flip the house against her during his season.

I think the poll should include none. There still isn’t anyone who stands out as favorite. It’s a repeat. James is doing what the house wants and looking for a girl. Nicolas is letting another man distract her. Frank is back to where he was in his season. He competes well and he might save himself once or twice but he’ll have to win every comp for the rest of the summer. It’s a personal thing against Frank. Also pack mentality. As for AFP I might not vote this year. All floaters and egos. Well even though we didn’t see much of him maybe I will vote for Glenn. Haha would be funny if nobody had a clear favorite and people threw Glenn their vote and ended up winning AFP. He kinda deserves it. Being the only one over 30 he didn’t have a chance. He would have always been odd man out and not relate to the youngsters.

I agree with having a “none” bubble. This week I voted for Vic. In a few short comps, he has done more getting back in the house than 3/4 of the players in the house. Other than that, I think most of the players’ games are weak or annoying. Hope it changes and I can actually root for someone.

@,JD:. I never would have thought of that! I think it would be absolutely hilarious if Glenn won AFP. That would sure teach these spoiled kids that their behavior does matter. And poor Glenn never even got a chance to play. I seriously doubt he would have had a chance to win but I think it’s sad that he never even had a chance to play. I’m going to seriously think about voting for him for AFP.

What does James expect to have happen? This should show him exactly where he is in that group, they’ll be his buddy as long as he’s useful to them, but the second it benefits them, they’ll throw him under the bus. But that’s what you get when you’re a floater. Whenever someone justifies something as a “house decision” it means they’re A. Either gutless and won’t own up to making a strong game move that benefits them. Or B. They have zero power and zero leverage and they’re letting someone else run things for them.

In the case of James it’s clear that it’s option B.

I have no idea why CBS brought back James and Nicole? Neither one was a strong player in their season, and neither really does anything in the game. While Da’Vonne was the second one out in her season, at least she adds fire to the house.

They brought them back because they were very well liked by America!! Nichole my girl and I hope she wises up. She’s really not playing the game and getting pulled into the mean girls ways and it doesn’t suit her. Z, day and mich big time mean girls. Bri tries to say she’s not but she’s really just as bad. Mostly nic just listens and doesn’t join in much but when you are around it and can’t get away it starts rubbing off. Actually nat seldom says anything bad about anyone personally but she’s such a floater. But a nice girl. Even with James and bri, nat doesn’t run others down. She and nic are not mean girls. Come on nic, wake up and play the game–those guys will drop you before their male pals!!

I didn’t like Natalie at first and I wrote her off as a bimbo based on what I assumed was an obsession with appearances. But I think she’s a genuinely nice girl. I don’t know why she got implants and wears SO much makeup but it seems like she judges herself so much more harshly than others. I haven’t heard her saying nasty things about the others in the house. I definitely like her a lot more than Bronte, Bridget and Michelle!!!

Speaking of Natalie, she is my favorite house guest this season. Not just the fact that she is easily the best looking girl in the house, but I also think she is a kind, thoughtful and genuine person.
On another note; I think ultimately Paulie is going to try and get Victor back door’d this week, though he will be just as happy to see Frank go. If anyone else in the house wants to win then they need to start working on getting Paulie out or he will skate to F2.

That’s what I never understand. Year after year you see people in power positions who are running the house, someone wins HOH but they never even think to put the power person up, they just do whatever that power person wants to win favour.

In theory they’re probably scared that the power person and their alliance will come after them, however if you give everyone the chance to get the person in power out of the house, you’re probably going to find the alliance isn’t what people think, and they’ll vote to get rid of that power person, because it benefits everyone.

I don’t think anyone in this house, outside of Frank and Da’Vonne, and maybe Victor, have the balls to put Paulie up. They’ll all just go along with whatever he wants. It’s not even like he’s playing a great game, it just seems like he has a bunch of people who have accepted him as the Alpha and are more than willing to do what he wants all the way to the end. He’s going to win this season more because of the other people in the house, than anything he has done.

Nat hasn’t had to do anything, since she is riding alongside James. He explains the game to her, does any dirty work that needs to be done, and reminds her to “lay low”. That means Nat has had hours to comb out/curl her hair/extensions, sunbathe, and practice her high kicks. Nat told him she wants someone who tells the truth to win the game. Buttercup, it is easy to do that when you are not actively involved in the game. F3 for her…..sure hope not!

You’re right on point with regards to Paulie. He’s has everyone in formation with the votes and who goes on the block. He’s the real threat and will mostly win the 500K! Z, should just leave him alone, he’s alrdy stated he emotionless and will put her up with her pal, Day. They need to get rid of Paulie, stat! And I was a Paulie fan initially but he’s to egotistical for my liking.

If he wanted to make a power move he should have put up Frank and Paulie. And said something along the lines of “you two have the a huge amount of power in the house currently. Taking one of you out helps to get me closer to winning this game. Nothing personal, but for me to win, I need you guys to go home, this week I’m looking to get one of you.”

James is well liked, this would have probably brought a lot of people to him and helped his end game tremendously. And realistically alliances in the house (outside of showmances) only last as long as people are in the house. By next week, everyone aligned with that person will have moved on and they’d be looking for new targets. Perhaps it would be on him, but if you want to have a great case to win the season (outside of a puppet master like Derrick) you often have to make bold moves. going along with the house isn’t a bold move. If anything this helps make Paulie’s case for why he should win stronger, because he convinced someone to put up the people he wants out.

I was thinking Natalie was disappointed in how Bridget was being catty? She seemed to genuinely care about Bronte, but maybe that was their only connection. Bridget kind of alienated everybody by attaching herself to Frank.

I hope the noms stay the same.Frank will definitely fight to stay in the house and won’t give a damn about his cabbage patch doll .I just hope she’ll fight for herself too.I don’t like either one of them but it could be some interesting TV.

I have a question about something from the previous post. Did I REALLY read that Paul said he’d bone Corey??!! WHAT?????? Have I missed something??? I haven’t read every post this season, these folks just really don’t interest me much as past seasons have. I AM glad that Josea DID not get back in the house. I couldn’t stand him from the beginning. I was actually hoping Tiffany would get back in but Victor is ok, I guess.
HOWEVER, back to my question, WHAT WAS PAUL’S COMMENT ABOUT??

Really? So far this season has been steady in the sense that the twists are interesting, the vets keep us watching to see how long they’ll stay, and now its just starting to heat up after Tiff, Day, and Frank exposed the shenanigans.

We’ve had better seasons but this season is the best its been in a long while.

My only concern is that may floaters will float and outlast the few people who are actively/brazenly playing leaving us with a beige/bland group of non-personalities.

I cant stand Frank that booger flicking, farting, arrogant, no respect for women, filthy, nasty asshole. I cant get past what he did or how he acts likes he thinks he’s big shit. I hate him. I hope he doesn’t win veto & they vote his ass right on out of the house. I hope they get Da & Bridgidiot out next.

DaVonne “used” Frank’s butt slap to get him out of the house, period. He sincerely apologized (shown on air) and never did that stuff again, but Day has ulterior motives in conflating the issue because she’s trying, ala Vanessa, to rally people against Frank by crying and carrying on. Such a manipulative “Vanessa” move (Remember Vanessa demonizing Jeff?! Same thing). But, it got people like you to buy in — way to go, Day.

They didn’t tell them why. My guess would be that either it is taking long to build it, or that it is going to be physical and they are waiting for it to not be so hot out.
I think I remember them once doing a comp at night before. Seems like it was OTEV. But I could be wrong.

Ooh I promise you I’ve got plenty more. I lost all respect for Frank after that crap. That’s as bad as spitting in someone’s face & I PROMISE you I have zero tolerance for that shit. People who treat others like that have absolutely no respect & I feel like they think that makes them better or above you. I promise if someone did that to me, automatic reflexes would kick in & I’d end up catching a serious case.

Too bad that Frankie Grande isn’t in the house. Lol
If you remember he enjoyed talking about how much sex he’d had and how he could get with guys who’d never been with a guy, etc, etc, etc.
He was a BAD representation of gay men in general. He was offensive to even me A GAY MAN!!

Here’s one:

Ann,
I’m with you!!!! Preach on!! I didn’t like frank the first time he was on and I don’t like him now. He needs to go home!!!! He’s totally disrespectful.

Are you sure about that?? He has been in the house for a while, maybe he’s getting a little horny. Lol

Im so glad Michelle won the POV, now I know noms will stay the same because Michelle hates Bridgidiot’s guts & she can’t stand filthy Frank either. Bout time she won something & just in time. Good girl Michelle, now make sure Frank kicks rocks!!!

Nah Jason, there’s still quite a few others I wanna see go. I personally am not done by a long shot.
Frank said this is the 2nd time he’s getting evicted on OTEV. Yaaaaaay, see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!!!!

If by some miracle Frank manages to flip the house in his favor & get them to keep him, this is one time I would climb my fat ass through that damn tv & claw his eyes out. I won’t rest easy the next few days until I see Frank walking out that door for good. I have zero sympathy for that booger flicking, fart factory.

YOU NEED HELP LOL Its a TV show u nut job, u know nothing REAL about any of these people but the fact u put up post after post bashing a guy personally proves to me that if the comment section here was the BB houae your ass would be Public Enemy #1 for being such an outspoken obnoxious fool. You are what u claim to hate!

Look you jerk, anybody can have their opinions & state them however they want. I DON’T LIKE FRANK & that’s that. If you don’t like it you don’t have to read one damn word I post. Scroll right on down & pass me up you JACKASS!

I hate this season. Nicole and James are brutal players. The only people really playing the game are Frank, Day and Paulie. The rest are on vacation and caught up in their little showmances. It’s no wonder they’re all horny. I’d be horny too if I was teased for over a month. They should do us all a favor and have a giant orgy… get it out of their systems and start playing the game.

What was so brutal about James’s gameplay ? It’s either eat or be eaten in this game & he did what he had to do. Frank said he was putting James & Da up if he or his lapdog won HOH. Yaaaay James!!!
That was a big move.
Bridgidiot is itting there telling Filthy Frank everybody should just vote both of them out. Dammit if only that was possible, I’d be all for it you fool.

James just went along with what the house wanted. Nothing big about that move. I’d agree with you if James put up Paulie and Frank or Davonne and Frank.Now they’re talking about getting Bridgette out, like she’s a major threat. Did these people not see the way Frank played her during her HOH run? Do they not think they can do the same thing if by some miracle she was to win HOH again? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

You’re letting your hatred of Frank get in the way of actually seeing how what’s going on. This wasn’t a bold move this was the easy move. But in doing so he helps add to Paulie’s resume (he’s doing what Paulie wants) and he’s ensuring that he’ll finish at the very bottom of his alliance.

You dislike Frank and Bridget, fair enough, but those two have no one in the game, they’re probably the easiest targets because everyone wants to get them out. It’s not a bold strategy in any which way. You’ve taken someone with a massive target already on their back and allowed the rest of the house to get rid of them, but now that the person is gone, the target needs to go somewhere, and they’ve already used James for what they need him for, he’s no longer of use to them.

The bold move would have been going after someone with some actual power in the house, and right now the only one who fits that bill is Paulie.

There’s an old saying “in order to be the man, you’ve gotta beat the man” James had the perfect opportunity to do that, instead he deferred to the man, and did his work for him.

Nah Jason, there’s still quite a few others I wanna see go. I personally am not done by a long shot.
Frank said this is the 2nd time he’s getting evicted on OTEV. Yaaaaaay, see ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya!!!!

I just hate what Frank did. It makes me mad because I liked him at first. I slowly started to not care for him but when he flicked that booger on that girl that was it.
I guess I shouldn’t let it bother me like that seeing as how it wasnt me he put the booger on & farted on.

James and Day heard some drilling and began to wonder if there’s a Pandora’s Box or a Reset Button coming this week. They’re also speculating about production sending Jozea in as a punishment. Too funny! There’s a rumor going around that Day found the Secret Room, but I haven’t found anything to back it up. But one true thing about Day is that she said that she wants to talk privately with Bridgette. Maybe she’s hatching a new plan.

Frank is going home but if he won roadkill (do they still have it?) He could put Meanchel up make her possibly use it on herself or put Paulie up. Like I said he’d still be going home but paranoia would be fun. Imagine Paulifather if house got guts flipped and took him out before Frank. Just saying so we would have excitement instead of “it’s what the house wanted”

I really hope frank finds that room and changes the game up! The big group of high school bullies is really getting on my nerves. Most of them are floaters. Do they realize if frank goes they will break up and go after one another? Now is time to make deals with people you never thought you would!

With Frank gone Paulie is losing his meat shield and is going to be very exposed. He used his HOH power to make sure he was on both sides but now he could be seen as a major threat to win and become a target. Also, Day is in a position to pull the girls in on a girl/boy thing if only she can master her own jealous nature first. She wants an all girl thing but she gets too emotional if the girls aren’t bowing to her, not a good leadership trait. Without Frank dominating camera time we’ll get to see some other plotting going on and they are all such easy liars it may be a lot of fun.

I was rooting for Paulie initially but now I’m starting to dislike his gameplay and his ego. He’s essentially doing the same thing Frank has been doing in the house. He is making the decisions over who goes on the block or not and pretending to the others as if he doesn’t have a clue why. Then poor Ms. Z, he’s playing her like a rag doll. He talks about her negatively ever chance he gets. Z need to open her eyes and start playing for herself. If someone was smart, they take Paulie out. He’s trying to win this game and no one is paying attention…

seriously this is the worst season of BB yet! and that is what you get when you fill the house with mostly under 25 year old brats! I cant stand half of the house and the other half Im barely tolerating.

Im with Gidget, I would pounce that nasty Michele outside of the house, her, zaki the bug, and Day, who I did like at one time and now I think is just a nasty liar.

And James? WTF? Love the guy and I think his flirtmance with Nat nat is adorable, but grow a backbone dude! Whos game you playing?
